Kate O'Brien, LCSW-S

**I am currently offering teletherapy sessions to clients residing in Oregon. I take OHP CareOregon and cash pay only. I provide therapy, licensing supervision to social worker's and non licensing supervision to other disciplines. I also will be offering ADHD assessments in January 2025. Please reach out to schedule a free phone consult to see if we are a good fit!** I am a queer, white, gender nonconforming social worker and therapist. I am truly a social worker at heart and serve my clients with many lenses. I use an attachment lens, systems theory, racial theory, queer theory, fat positive lens, a strengths-based lens, a whole person approach, and anti-racist trauma informed framework. I believe that our relationships can be a foundation to work through your challenges. With an integrative process I believe that in this context, you will be able to heal old wounds and live a more full and satisfying life. I believe that you are the writer of your own story and can create the life you want. We can do this using many modalities from visualization/mindfulness to CBT to Somatic work. I truly feel honored to be any part of someone’s journey. The way I see my support for you is walking alongside you for a period of time highlighting your successes and supporting you during challenging moments, when indicated. I believe anyone can heal and anyone can change. I am a person who has experienced a trauma in childhood, struggled with attachment challenges, suffered great loss, and walked my own complicated gender/queer journey. I believe all of these experiences inform my practice and how I can show up for you. As a white provider, I am committed to anti-oppressive practice. I attend training and engage in educational opportunities on anti-oppressive practice regularly. This will be ongoing work for me that I am deeply committed to.
